Welcome to the web site of the Association of Falkirk Astronomers. We are an active society with approx 30 members.
The Association was founded early in 1999 by a small group of local amateur astronomers who recognised the need for an active group operating in the Falkirk area. An exhibition, held in a local hotel, had an encouraging turnout confirming that there was interest in the area for an astronomical group. The Association now has a membership of nearly 40.

Meetings
Members nights are usually held on the second Wednesday of the month in the Old Peoples’ Welfare Hall, Laurieston, near Falkirk, except for June, July and August when there is a recess. Meetings commence at 7.30pm (doors open around 7pm) and finish around 10.00pm. These cover discussion of events of current interest, reports from the Committee, followed by the main event of the evening which is a presentation by an Association member or Guest Speaker describing a topic of general interest. Observing equipment is always available to use after the meetings, but weather conditions are rarely favourable, unfortunately!
Meetings are held monthly in the Old Peoples’ Welfare Hall, Laurieston, near Falkirk on the 2nd Wednesday of the month except June, July and August.
Talks are presented by guest and local speakers on a wide variety of topics. Newcomers are always welcome.
The next meeting is on Wednesday the 11th September 2019 at 7:30PM in the Old Folks Welfare Hall, Lauriston.
